The downfall of women
There are several incidents of women being hurt in the
name of beliefs and traditions. There is genital mutilation. There are honor
killings. Burkas and covering the head are just some of the other ways men of
other cultures force women to be and live a certain way. It’s not the way of
the western world. Women fought through strikes, marches, and policies to gain
freedom. Freedom to be, wear, and live as men do. I totally agree with their
freedom fight. Women are people. Yes, they are female, but that does not define
you as a person.
I feel that four things that are killing the rights of
women. The first is feminism. In principle, it looks like a good thing. Woman’s
rights and the power of the female to be anything is good. Yes, woman can be
anything except: a man. The problem is anything. Men can’t be everything. Neither
can women, but feminism says you can. The second thing is making laws to hire
women. Putting anyone in a role just because of their sex is asking for trouble.
Qualified women should get the good jobs. Yet, women are getting jobs without
being qualified. I feel it’s watering down the abilities of work and women.
The third thing is rights and freedoms. It seemed an
evolution to further women’s rights. If men have rights then so do women. If women
gain rights then why not give rights to anyone. That sounds logical. The problem
is that women’s rights have been left in the dust. The rights of all things supersede
the rights of one type. That too sounds logical. However, the right to have your
own beliefs and culture supersedes women’s rights.
What does God have to say about this mess. In Genesis 2
God wanted man to have a helpmate. Men over the centuries have deemed that to
be below them. A worker, slave, or servant. Women became lower than men. However,
that’s not the Bible’s intent. The words helper, mate, companion refers to
beside not below. In plain terms equal. Men have their role but so do women. One
is not below the other just like God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy
Spirit are distinct, separate, but equal.
This is the sad part. The fourth thing that’s killing
women is that role. How do women fit into equal rights for all people? How do
they fit into the right to practice your customs or traditions? Isn’t honor
killing a tradition in many other parts of the world? How do women fit into sexual
orientation if they are deemed to be sexually and physically the same as male,
gay, transgender or anything else? Women fought to be distinct from men. The new
wave puts them backwards as the same as everything. Nothing should make a woman
different than a man.
My whole point is distinction. A woman was pretty, nice, companionate,
soft, and many other great things. They were smart, able, equal in so many
ways. We don’t talk about women like that anymore. Women are to be more like
men. They are to give equal rights to all other genders. That means a
transgender woman or man can run in a female race. A woman is allowed to fight
in a male boxing ring. Women’s right won but now they are put into impossible
situations where their losing bigtime.
The rights of invited cultures have rights. Covering women
up is a right. Men saying their women must obey is a right. Gay quota’s in the
workplace is a right. The great work by the women of the past is being eroded
one step at a time. The plight of the pink breast cancer ribbon is now used by
50 groups for their plight. Nobody is talking about the rights of women except
the right to be and act like men. The real woman that was female, sugar, spice,
and everything nice, is now considered a terrible recipe of a girl.
